DON'T YOU GET IT?!?

YOU NEVER SEE MY POINT OF VIEW!

FUCK YOU I DON'T DO

WHAT YOU TELL ME TO

I'VE DONE NOTHING BUT THAT!!

HOW DARE YOU TALK ABOUT HER THAT WAY!

SHE MEANS MORE TO ME RIGHT NOW THAN YOU DO!

THIS IS THE ME THAT HAS HID ALL THESE YEARS!

THIS IS HALF A DECADE OF BUILT-UP RAGE!

AT YOU, AT THE WORLD

AT THOSE WHO "CARE" FOR ME

BUT NEVER BOTHER SEEING THROUGH MY EYES!

HOW CAN YOU UNDERSTAND WHEN YOU DON'T SEE ALL?

WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW ALL, HEAR ALL?

WHEN YOU CAN'T DO ALL?!?



i wish i didn't have to do this

but you've left me no choice

i don't want to hurt you

but you've hurt me too long

hurt her too often

blinded yourself with your power



you tell me you'll stop

then you continue a different way

ENOUGH!

NO MORE!!

I WON'T TAKE IT!!!

"Even a hare will bite when cornered"1

What about a dragon?

I've been caged all my life

Now I finally want out

You must have seen it coming

That's why you've made the bars so strong

But I am stronger than they

I will break through

I didn't want to lose the cage;

I only wanted out

If I must destroy it

THEN SO BE IT

Maybe when it's gone I'll realize

I don't need it

The shelter is nice,

But it's time to fly

This dragon's wings have always been folded

The claws have never been out

It's true strength never shown
